About Little Kid, Big City!: New York
Product Description If you could have an adventure in New York City, where would you go? Curious readers will find plenty to see, learn, and explore in this fun and illustrated pick-your-own-path travel guide series! Would you walk the Brooklyn Bridge for a huge slice of pizza, see the dazzling lights in Times Square, or visit the whale at the Museum of Natural History? Create your own itinerary, choose which places to visit at the end of every page, and follow along with an adventurous family as they explore New York. • Visit iconic sites like the Statue of Liberty, the Empire State Building, and the legendary Broadway theater district. • Grab a slice from New York's iconic pizzerias, sample world-famous bagels, and try a taste of Harlem Soul food. • Discover off-the-beaten-path destinations such as the Little Red Lighthouse, the Underground Transit Museum, and the Boardwalk of Coney Island. • Travel through the city that never sleeps by waterway ferry, subway and the iconic yellow taxi. • Get to know the diversity of the city through visits to Chinatown, Little Italy, Queens, and Harlem. Featuring playful illustrations, a diverse and lovable cast of characters, an invaluable resources section, and a fun foldout map, this book is an ingenious way for kids to take the lead while planning a vacation or learning about one of the largest cities in the world. Whether you’re an armchair traveler or a real-life tourist, the Little Kid, Big City series has everything you need to invent your own adventure! Next stop, Little Kid, Big City!: London From School Library Journal Gr 1-3-This early elementary travel guide celebrates New York City and uses the style and format of a "choose your own path" series. Hallmarks of NYC tourism are featured, including the Statue of Liberty, One World Trade Center, and the 9/11 Memorial and Museum, the Brooklyn Bridge, and the Bronx Zoo. The text offers advice on navigating the gridlike streets of Manhattan, taking the subway, and information about taxi cabs. Sightseers are encouraged to taste New York's famous pizza, bagels, and the delectable offerings of Little Italy. The neighborhoods of Chinatown and Harlem are described in simplified overviews, which do not fully encompass the nuances and cultural diversity of each community. The book can be read in a linear order or readers can follow the prompts at the bottom of each section to choose their own path through the city. The cartoonish illustrations reflect the mood of a bustling metropolis. Characters with light and dark skin tones are depicted, although the main character is a boy who appears to be white and blond. An index of recommended attractions and a pull-out map of the city are included.
